Little Johnny definitely was a much welcome addition at school, and Harry loved being a big brother, even when it meant changing dirty diapers. Harry had remained to the surprise of his friends, living at home, considering there was a crying baby, instead of the head's tower or moving into their rooms Lucius was at school after all, and Draco did not live with his dad, but both Draco and Harry reminded them Harry had never really had the family before. He spent most of his time with them, an slept over in Slytherin from time to time, but no one could blame Harry for not using the head's rooms Hermione had been civil, in that she backed off, since Ginny had nearly killed herself and Harry saved her, but it went as far as that. Besides Remus erected silent wards for his elder son, so he was not woken by Johnny, for he loved having both his sons there, and even if he would have his own apartments, he found himself hoping Harry would apprentice next year

Christmas found them all at Malfoy Manor, including Andromeda and Ted, for they wanted to be there for the whole holiday. Harry was invited to spend some time with his brothers, which of course he would never turn down, and would spend Christmas eve as well as some other time with them. Harry had bee worried Ron was home, but though the brothers housed him till he found work, they had still broken ties As far as they knew he was spending that night working and the following he would be in muggle London with the Granges, as he and Hermione had remained friends

Harry smiled when he caught sight of Charlie out of robes when he came in."My little nephew is sure growing in there"

Oliver put a hand over his husband's belly. "Your little godson is definitely giving his cousin a run for his money over there."

Fleur who was two months further along, had such a slender build to begin with, and had morning sickness the first four months, even at six months, she was small. Charlie groaned and said he wished he was still a player, for if he was still seeker build, maybe he would have been luckier. Fred made Harry blush when he commented he would likely have better luck, though Oliver reminded Fred that Harry had decided not to pursue professional.

Harry was surprised."Where is Percy? Please tell me he did not screw things up already."

Penny shook her head."He will be here soon and when he is, we have to sets of news"

Percy had come through the door. "I hope my fiancé has not broken the news without me."

It seemed the last of the older three was to be married, Percy should have been wed month ago, if not for all of this. He and Penny worked out their problem, and plane to move home after their honeymoon. The couple considered eloping, but decided to have a small ceremony here at the house, and then spend a few days in France. The couple were to be married on New Year 's Eve, making it more special. Harry smiled as he thought about his dad and Dora who were out as well, for they were celebrating their one year anniversary tonight, Johnny home with his grandparents who were happy to get to baby-sit.

As Oliver assured them they would be happy for a wedding, for they wanted Lynette to have both parents, his husband asked. "You said two."

Percy clapped Harry on the back. "Thanks to a letter from Harry, I passed the last hurdle. I will be a healer in training the second week in January."

Percy had never considered medicine, and he never thought being arrested, would change his life for the good. When his hours were reduced, and he became an assistant and not orderly, he grew interested in medicine, and he had the marks. Poppy and the healer who he was assistant to, wrote for him, and he passed the exams, and since he was not actually charged, with Harry's letter on his behalf he was accepted. It would take three years, but he would be making around what he had been making, and would make more with time.

Charlie stopped them. "Why don't you stay? At leas till you're third year and making more money? Penny is still on maternity leave"

Reminded they were already here Penny accepted for her husband was not sure. "If you mean it"

As they sat down for dinner the new owners reminded them the Burrow had seven bedrooms, and with Bill and the twins out, there was plenty of room. Oliver and Charlie would have their baby in Ginny's old room, on the same floor. Percy and Penny now in the same room would use Percy's old room, and Lynette in Bill's old room. There was still the twins', Bill's and Ron's old rooms if they had company. And the couple could continue to rent the house and make some savings up.

Bill raised a glass. "To our growing family, and Percy and Penny's two sets of news May this coming year be much happier then the last."

Other then the Weasleys, Harry and his family, and the Malfoys and Severus, were at the Burrow on New Years, even Andromeda and Ted Harry was surprised when James Clearwater had come, for he had cut his daughter off over Percy, but Percy admitted he had gone for a heart to heart wit the man. He convinced James he did not want after losing his wife, not to have his daughter or granddaughter in her own life. James was there to give her away, and he was touched to see Lynette finally, and no one could miss him being there, meant the world to Penny.

Lucius could have, but Harry had been shocked to be asked, as a lord with two titles, to marry them, and was honoured. The couple wed in front of the fireplace in the sitting room, the only decoration the Christmas tree and lights still up. Charlie holding Lynette and Bill, acted as witnesses in the simple ceremony.

James kissed Penny after. "Your mother would have wanted to be here so bad, I am sorry I nearly missed it. I hope you continue to let me make amends"

Penny handed the baby to him. "Like I knew she deserved her daddy before I took Percy back, I know she deserves her Grandpa. Thanks for being here."

They would not have allowed Harry to do more for the wedding, but at the least they allowed the Malfoy house elves to make a beautiful roast beef dinner. The wedding and reception were simple, and far from traditional, but the family and laughter, and their daughter, made it perfect for them.

Severus drew Harry away from the party and handed him a gift. "I wanted something more special for you then the gloves I gave on Christmas."

Harry opened the gift and found a simple chain but it was entwined, platinum and gold. "Its beautiful but you forget I am a snake now too"

Putting it on Harry, Severus told him a part of Harry would always be a Gryffindor, if nothing more then his family past and present were, and Harry agreed Severus knew Harry was not much for jewellery, other then his pendant from Sirius he only wore his house rings, and sometimes his pocket watch. He would get cufflinks for grad, tradition, and Severus thought he could add a pendant for another holiday, as Harry was not ready for a ring yet.

Severus kissed him at midnight. "To make sure there is no doubt I want to spend the next year, and every year after, with you."
